Access to the clean and affordable energy microgrids provide supports education, health care, agriculture, and small businesses. 

Deploying this climate solution stimulates local economies and creates employment opportunities. The installation, operation, and maintenance of renewable energy systems require skilled labor, creating jobs and contributing to economic growth.

Shifting to clean and renewable energy sources reduces indoor and outdoor air pollution, which is a significant health concern in many developing countries. By replacing traditional fuels like wood and coal with cleaner alternatives improves air quality, reducing respiratory illnesses and related health issues.

In developing countries, this solution expands access to modern and reliable energy services, enabling communities to meet basic energy needs such as lighting, cooking, heating, and powering essential services like health-care facilities and schools.

Learn what portion (f any) of your home's electricity is generated by a nuclear power plant

Learn about emerging small modular reactor technology and share what you learn with a friend, neighbor, or colleague.

Learn about the benefits of geothermal energy, and share what you learn with someone else.

If you are building or remodeling your home or business, consider whether a geothermal HVAC system might suit your circumstances.

If you are (or know of) a student interested in engineering, consider focusing your career on wind or other renewable energy technologies.

If you are financially supporting the fossil fuel industry, consider shifting that support to renewables.

Offshore wind turbines are less expensive and less polluting than new coal power plants.

Wind turbine design, construction, operation, and maintenance create new job opportunities.

Consider investing in funds that advance the transition to clean energy.

Show your support local policies and ordinances that allow installation of wind turbines in appropriate locations.

Onshore wind turbines are less expensive and less polluting than coal power plants.

Green energy technologies provide new job opportunities in design, construction, installation, and more.

Help your public utilities commission to consider solar PV as an alternative to fossil fuels.

Encourage your workplace to help meet its electricity needs with photovoltaics by supporting a solar garden or farm.

Arrange to have a solar energy expert speak at a local library, community center, or service organization or faith community gathering.

Install solar panels on your home if it's suitable—subscribe to a solar farm or garden if not.

Schedule an energy audit for your home and follow up on recommendations.

Help connect organizations and agencies serving low-income individuals and families in your community with sources of subsidies for energy efficiency upgrades.

If you live in a sunny climate, consider installing a solar water heater at your home or place of business.

If you're a teacher, introduce your students to the many ways we capture and use the sun's energy—and encourage them to dream up even more. 

Solar hot water helps reduce energy bills.

Consider upgrading your home’s heating and/or cooling system to a high-efficiency heat pump.

If your company is adding infrastructure, encourage those in charge of planning it to consider a heat pump alternative to conventional HVAC.

High-efficiency heat pumps save energy by efficiently transferring heat, thereby lowering energy bills.

Heat pumps also can improve air quality by reducing the use of fuels such as wood, propane, and oil that emit particulate matter and black carbon when burned.
